Brad Leslie, 44, entered Wolverhampton Police Station's reception on June 10 this year, demanding to speak to an officer.
He then shouted he would "stab everyone" and then pulled out a "plastic spork" wrapped in tissue from his trouser pocket.
Leslie, from Jenkins Close, Bilston, was quickly overpowered by police officers and was charged with possessing an offensive weapon in a public place.
However, when appearing before Dudley Magistrates Court, before Leslie could answer the charge, there was a legal debate whether the offensive weapon was a spork (which is a hybrid of a spoon and a fork) or a knife.
